“I am a Fauve painter, a colorist and I tend to exaggerate.
My inspiration comes from the fauve paintings of Maurice de Vlaminck, Albert Marquet, Andre Derain and Henri Matisse.”

I make my paintings bright and happy. I don’t like straight lines. I like topsy turvy. In fact I don’t want anything straight or lined up and I don’t want my paintings to be edgy and perfect. I am a painter and I want a painterly effect.
